* ''Film/IRobot'' : The plot is kicked off by the apparent suicide of Doctor Lanning, the world's foremost expert on robotics. Detective Spooner, a friend of Lanning, believes Lanning's death was actually a murder committed by a robot, which most other characters [[ThreeLawsCompliant insist is impossible. [[spoiler: It turns out Spooner was RightForTheWrongReasons. Lanning's robotic "son" Sonny did kill him, but only because the doctor asked him to do it in the hopes that Spooner would investigate and discover the plans of the BigBad, making it an Assisted Suicide, and this example an InvokedTrope]].
